Miley Cyrus by Tesh for Marie Claire

Teen bride Miley Cyrus is on the cover of Marie Claire's September issue, and I'm actually really excited about it. You might not like her music or her movies, but Miley photographs beautifully, and I love seeing her in editorials. These were obviously taken before she debuted her new haircut, (which I love by the way!) but she still looks amazing. I can't wait to get this issue, and see the full editorial.

This cover works for me. Miley looks great (despite her eternal baby pout), from her hair to her makeup to her styling. I'm not really sure why she's relevant right now (movies, album?) but I don't mind having her around so to speak. And can we talk about that manicure? Loving it.

What do you think about Miley as a covergirl? Will you be buying MC's September issue?

#Scandal: I Know That Olivia Pope Isn't Perfect; It's Part Of The Reason I Love Her

It irks me that people (usually black men) keep saying that black women shouldn't love Olivia Pope because she is flawed. "Flawed" in this case usually equals "having an affair with a white guy". They don't realize it, but the concentrated hate that they hold for her is steeped in a very specific kind of racialized misogyny . Walter White was no hero, but somehow we managed to love him. Dexter was a serial killer  and yet, we lauded him too. What do they have in common? You guessed it. Men. White  men. Who also happened to be anti-hero characters whose virtues were valued alongside their flaws. But I'm going to set that aside for now. I'm a black woman and I LOVE Scandal. I am not blind to Olivia's flaws. I love her  because she has flaws.  Black women are so severely underrepresented in media that Kerry Washington's role has garnered a considerable amount of attention simply because she is a black woman in a lead role of a network televisi

via Paper Mag Nicki Minaj by Howard Huang Personally, I wish Nicki would do more looks like this. She's deep into her "costume" phase right now, and that's fine, but I think she's forgotten (and consequently so has everyone else) how GORGEOUS she looks when she goes glam. She has all the makings of a style icon in the traditional sense, but she seems to prefer the Gaga route. That's perfectly okay of course, but I'd love to see her do more easy beauty shoots like this one. She's a beautiful woman.
